Is an IVA the right way forward for me?
Many people enter into an IVA because they have a strong desire to repay the money they owe, but simply cannot afford to do so at the rate expected by their creditors.
Entering an IVA provides them with the opportunity to repay as much as they can afford for a fixed period, without the threat of legal action being brought against them.
At the end of the IVA, the debts are considered 'satisfied' and any outstanding balances still remaining after the successful completion of the IVA must be written-off by the creditors under the terms of the agreement.
In most circumstances, an IVA will allow a large percentage of the debt to be written-off, yet still provide the applicant with a sense of achievement rather than one of failure. They are able to hold their head high knowing they repaid as much as they could afford under the terms of the agreement, sanctioned by their creditors.
Who Qualifies For An IVA
Unfortunately, not everyone that wants to enter an IVA will actually qualify. Indeed, many people who want to apply will be unable to for one reason or another.
To be able to consider an IVA, you must be insolvent.
In general terms this means you must not have sufficient wealth or financial resource to be able to clear your debts through the liquidation or sale of your assets.
There are further qualifying criteria determined by your creditors. They control the minimum thresholds relating to debt levels and monthly contributions below which they consider an IVA no longer provides a suitable debt remedy for them.
In order to establish whether an IVA is a viable solution for you, it's advisable to have a consultation with a professional IVA adviser.
